The success of your organization often depends on how efficiently you deliver a product or service.

For most of us, we manage this effort with some kind of scheduling software—typically Microsoft Project.

But just because you implement a scheduling program, it does not guarantee successful project outcomes.

You can survey your project managers or schedule owners, but you still may not find the reasons why some projects achieve a successful outcome and why others do not.

Auditing a schedule is a great way to evaluate a schedule, capture lessons learned from projects, and determine how to improve the success of your organization.

Cindy’s objective in this webinar is to discuss scheduling audits, provide examples of what these audits might reveal, and provide suggestions to get started with auditing in your organization.

Learn:

• How audits drive consistency and show opportunities for schedule efficiency;
• How to ensure a visible critical path and verify resource workloads are properly loaded;
• The #1 mistake organizations make monitoring progress and how to fix it;
• Why missing baseline information prevents lessons learned.

Presenter: Cindy Lewis, (LinkedIn profile) PMP, PMI-SP, MOS, MCTS, MS, MCT, MVP-Project Sr Trainer/Consultant CorpEd Group, has  20+ years of experience in the field of project management.  Cindy specializes in consulting with clients on Agile and scheduling techniques and targeted one-to-one mentoring.

Infrastructure Projects are largely intended to benefit the general public, and usually, the government is the Sponsor. Thus, Infrastructure Development Projects have a varied spectrum of Stakeholders.

A delay in such Projects – for instance, the construction of a road, a power plant, or a water reservoir- can have negative implications for the population and may even result in political and economic issues at the national level.

In this webinar Irshad Hussain (LinkedIn profile) will look into various reasons for delays in infrastructure projects as well as mitigation proposals. Information Technology, Procurement, Production, Human Resources and even Consulting related projects are usually part of an Infrastructure Portfolio.

This Webinar is also relevant to professionals looking to improve these processes.

My Christmas Card To You

Written by Tony Romeo Sung by: David Cassidy Discography

To you and all your family, your neighbors and your friends
May all your days be happy with a joy that never ends
May peace and love surround you
at Christmas time and all the whole year through …

I’m looking out my window at the softly falling snow
that dances in the early morning light
I got my guitar right before me, strummin’ a beautiful sound
watching it a-comin’ down, all around
on the fields and the farms and the road to town

And I’m thinkin’ up a letter that I’m writin’ in my head
a Christmas card to all the folks I love
Instead of lettin’ the postman bring it, I decided I’d rather sing it
especially for you, for you …

To you and all your family, your neighbors and your friends
May all your days be happy with a joy that never ends
May peace and love surround you
at Christmas time and all the whole year through

May your life be filled with sunshine, may your every wish come true
May you find the sweet fulfillment in everything you do
May your days be blessed with the very very best
both now and the whole year through
it says so in my Christmas card to …

You and all your family, your neighbors and your friends
May all your days be happy with a joy that never ends
May peace and love surround you
at Christmas time and all the whole year through
at Christmas time and all the whole year through

Please do what you can to support others even if it is only to share a smile!

Few things have a bigger impact on project delays – and project manager frustration – than executive stakeholders who won’t engage.

Though they pay lip service to the value of a strategic project, when it comes time to actually review a document, provide feedback or update the status of a task, those stakeholders are often nowhere to be found.Sound familiar?

2. Keep it simple
   • Make it easy for stakeholders to stay engaged from project initiation through final delivery
3. Avoid email purgatory
   • Create an environment of unified communication and collaboration that connects individuals without endless email threads
